My first whole room SCRoG

[jondamon]

Looking really nice, top job.
I can't wait to see version 1.1 if that's 1.0.

I'd be surprised if you're not planning ahead for 1.1 just now, it has that effect

Yep lol. Especially the drip system.

one big loop with reduction to 4mm to each drip line to each plant with most likely 2-4 drip lines to each one.

I actually need to veg for slightly longer next time to fill the screen at the front end better as theres a few gaps.

Oh yeah and weight the scrog to keep it from lifting slightly.

Day 56 of 12/12

Chugging along at 0.9EC

Just A/B bloom

Still running EC0.9 pH6

Day 61 of 12/12.

EC currently 0.8.

I’m slowly reducing my EC now.

Next time I fill up which will be in about 5 days I will fill with 0.4 which with the remainder already in the tote will make it around 0.6-0.7.

I’ll then do one more filling of the res with 0.4 which drop it to around 0.5 flat and that’s where I’ll stay until finish however much longer that is!

Anyone want to take a guess how much longer. There are 2 different plants here with different phenos.

One of the phenos has more pistils receded than the other. With more rounded buds. Where as the other pheno has more “pointed” buds but plenty of fresh white pistils.

 

[Flork]

Soon mon, lol. Honestly, I never know how much longer until I am within about 3 days of harvest (usually).

It's looking nice Jon , it's always difficult to guess but I think if you allow another 2 weeks the end should be somewhere in that window.

I tried to search for this thread a couple of days ago but I couldn't find it with the search box using various scrog, trellis, screen with your username, anyways I've got it now...
How are you getting on with dialing in your auto system?

A piece of useless information but I found this interesting, the ec was stable at 1.2ec for weeks then overnight (day 59) the ec raised in the run off and has done since, its day 67 now and I've had to lower the ec 3 times, it's stable at 0.7ec atm so I'll leave it for now and see how it goes, I'm anticipating another 7/10 days but I'll see what happens over the week.

I notice it more on hotter days.

currently I’m feeding 0.8 x3 a day only during day light.

I might increase this slightly.

runoff has been consistently between 1.1-1.4.

it’s been a tinkering experiment that’s for sure.

Thankfully my first feed is at 10pm in the evening so I Have enough time to check what the runoff was like for the first one and to see if I’ve adjusted enough or too much lol.

if this was recirculating or draining to a dump out etc it would be even easier. Lol. But alas I use a sink bowl to catch runoff.

each day I have to check and I remove any runoff there and then.

I’ve had one day where I thought it might have been a fair amount of runoff.

thankfully caught it before first feed as it was full lol.

Also got more components coming to make it a 13mm ring with 4mm branches off for drippers to create more even pressure across the whole thing.

plan is to use my HDPE non flexi pipe to create a loop to branch off.

don’t be thinking that I’m asking the “is it ready” I know when they’re ready when they’re ready lol.

this was just a game to say how many weeks or days does everyone think lol.

Another tit bit of possibly useless information.

when this happens to me, I pH my solution at nearly 7 if the runoff has jumped considerably and it helps to stabilise the runoff again IME.

I didn't think that, you just want to hear what others think, it's always interesting to hear other views if you can get them.

It's a maturity thing, it's normal for the ec to rise as the plants requirements drop.

DRIP DELIVERY SYSTEM V2.0 lol

Parts

2 pieces of 13mm HDPE supply pipe (the rigid one)
2 pieces of 13mm flexi pipe
5 x 13mm barbed elbow
1 x 13mm barbed T
4 x 4mm joiners
4 x drippers
1m x 4mm pipe
4 x 4mm dripper stakes
10 x 13mm stake supports (for inserting into coco for stability)

I haven’t installed this yet so no pics of that lol.

 

[jondamon]

Will be adding the drip system v2.0 tonight before first watering.

question to those who have created something similar @Star Dog or @bk78

Should I add one of these


In line with the 4mm drippers for greater flow control? Baring in mind the drippers allow control by turning them.

 

[myke]

I would T in the res with a valve,this adjust flow and aerate the res at same time.

So add a valve in the res on the up from the pump to allow some flow back into the res before it leaves up the supply pipe?

Right,gives you the ability to adjust flow to the sprayers.Pending on pump size I guess.

I get you.

I’ve seen that on a YouTube video before about setting up your own hydro drip system.

I’m not overly concerned with aerating the res as I’m running coco DTW anyway so O is pulled in during the feed cycles.


but ultimately either another of the orange dripper valves I use now or I could just use one of these on the up portion of the supply still inside the tote.
